Ann Romney opts for Oscar de la Renta

Share

For her speech Tuesday to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., Ann Romney opted for Oscar de la Renta.

According to a report by our Times compatriot Robin Abcarian, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wore “a brilliant red Oscar de la Renta dress — belted at the waist, with elbow-length sleeves and a slightly belled skirt.”

Although speculation about the dress she would be wearing for the important occasion had reached a fever pitch over the last few days, according to another Times colleague, Maeve Reston, Mrs. Romney still hadn’t made a definite decision as late as Tuesday morning.
